Alfa Romeo GT 3.2. A car I owned and regret having sold.
Here is a video to give you an idea of the melody of the engine. The big asset of this car, as most of the Alfa, its engine. Melodious, full of life, powerful... Magic. The car was very direct, too, a pleasure in the curves. The suspension was a bit hard,...
The sound of that V6 is stunning.
the problem with fuel consumption is still an issue with modern performance cars. My New RS easily gets up to 20-25 l/100 km when i drive it hard ... knowing i can even go a lot faster. 7 l/100 km is also possible, but then zero as well if you push it for...
Haha !
Luckily the RS is reasonable in city trafic, just. And i know all about looking stupid, two days ago me and a friend blocked the middle lane on the highway when his Ford van gave up. We stood there for two hours looking at that van in the middle of the hi...
Both ... funnily all the people shouting and bashing ...
.. were migrants :-( .... never seen that before.
Nice car and Paris is not compartibel. I saw the people parking, pushing the cars to have more place for her car, nobody use hand break!
Paris is a town for a Smart. 63 Liters, you are kidding. for so much gas i like to see more performance, from 200 to 240 i miss something, even more uphill. Another point is the position of the motor, full front not behind the the front axis, look where i...
That is true, i was talking from new price but he is not new. Sorry my mistake!
Another car to think about, GREAT FUN, atmosferico - no turbo, 50:50 weigth distribution, motor b oxer Subarro, Toyota GT 86, from 15,000,-. ...
For PURISTs with manual gearbox, for Paris may be better Automatic - come with padels, but is not a PDK-Gearbox.
The best handling and RWD, no turbo hole, no come mucho, puedes cambiar direccion con el culete y nunca sorprende - facil de controlar, para amantes de sobrevirage. Fiable coche Japones. No pierden dinero cuando estan a 18 k.. Estoy esperando, pero nada, ...
My new Golf r SW consumes about 9 liters/100 kilometers ...
... in everyday driving, mostly countra roads with lots of traffic, and maybe 20% city traffic. When doing (German) Autobahn, I am at about 12 liters, and doing race track - well, I have not measured, but I have to top up twice a dy. Marcus
On a track ...
.. consumption will be close to 30 with your R. I remember doing 20l/100 with the Clio at Zolder ... and 22 on the backroads in the Ardennes
This isn't a model I'm familiar with ...
... and I'm guessing it's not one that ever made it to the United States. I love all things Alfa though and always longed for a late '50s or early '60s Giulia/Giulietta. Now I long for a modern Giulia, which gets excellent reviews. Alfa's position in this...
But the Giulia on the other side ...
especially the Quadrifoglio version is a great car!
What a glorious sound!
Very few vehicles sound as good as an Alfa V6. I wish the US versions got a proper transmission. I know the paddles are faster, but lack some of the feel of rowing your own. Whenever I need a smile on my face and the weather is cooperating I take my 1985 ...
Black with red interior... Very fitting!
Devil is in the details, and I would expect you to have an Alfa Romeo sports car with a red interior! That's some crazy fuel consumption! 63 liters in 180 km!? That's only 6.71 miles to the US Gallon! I drive a 5.4L engine and I get double that! Car needs...
At 180KPH the cars get really thirsty!
It's amazing that the Alfa got it to 180 KPH. It's even more amazing that a person can get it to that speed! Then again, the pilot is probably not a mere mortal...
Alfa GT 3.2 V6
Only car in my life I bought brand new, best V6 ever, loved it Traded it for a 911, great too, but it can't beat the temper of the Alfa V6
That s a lot of fuel for such performance my bmw N54 takes
abot 15-17l over 200kmh ,which is nothing considering its performance
Really, sorry dear Amanico Vlad, but for me this was a car I didn’t understood since the first time I viewed...
... expecially I didn’t like the trunk... But now you’re more than happy with your Volvo coupe, which btw I like a lot, so I think that your regret is getting lower and lower, am I right? I wish you and your family a wonderful weekend, while packing for a...
I have regretted a few sales too, so I revisit the gone ones every couple of decades... see my recent post in automotive....
Best wishes to you from Zurich and congrats to your 170K Richard
Here's a Wiki comment re Alfa's V6:
"In August 2011 EVO magazine wrote that 'the original Alfa Romeo V6 was the most-glorius sounding six cylinder road engine ever'. [9] and the British Classic & Sports Car magazine noted it as 'The best sounding engine, this side of a Maserati V8."
As unique as your watches....very nice car and can understand The issues of fuel consumption..
I’ve been driving gas guzzlers and the Audi S8 & the G63 G-Wagon have similar issues . Not suitable for traffic and at lower speeds consume twice the amount of fuel. Well I sold both of them for now and waiting for new ones to be delivered by the end of t...
I guess all boils down to engineering ....
The AMG tuned engine are guzzlers and at 5.5 litre bi-turbo and 565 hp the consumption is terrible in city driving and with the Audi S8 plus at low gears and city drive is the same issue turbo charged V8 with 4 litres with 605hp.
This car is a real beauty
They are finally starting to import Alfas into the USA again. But only two models. The Giulia and Stelvio SUV. But this one is gorgeous. For the most part we don’t choose cars based on fuel economy here, so this one would do very well. 😂😂😂
